š Notes from Natalie Letās start with the big adventure of the week. Glamping with Brooks šš»āāļø And yes, I said glamping. Not camping. There was no hole digging involved and no sleeping directly on dirt. That is my personal line in the sand. š¤£ Two years ago, Brooks...
Here's something most women don't realize: you can have estrogen dominance even when your estrogen is technically low. You can feel testosterone deficiency even when your levels look adequate on paper. And the difference between understanding this and not could mean the difference between finally...
š Notes from Natalie As youāre reading this, Iām officially off the grid. Like real camping. No glam. No blow dryer. Questionable bathroom situation. Why am I camping? šļø Because itās Brooksā 50th birthday week and this is what he wanted. And apparently when your husband turns 50,...
You're doing everything right. You started hormone replacement therapy, you're following your doctor's protocol, but something still feels off. The brain fog lingers. The weight won't budge.

You've invested hundreds (maybe thousands) of dollars in high-quality supplements. You've done your research.
